He's trying to sound all stable and gentle now, but I still have one question. He says he "lost his temper a bit" after he asked Gayle to move from her seat but “she didn’t seem to want to get up”. All fair but why on earth did she have to move from her seat for him? They even had an empty middle seat between them. Why wasn't he comfortable with her next to him.

^ I don't accept his apology, either, especially when he claimed that he wasn't racists. I also agree with Gayle. If he wasn't racists, he wouldn't have used the words he used.

This is the routine.

-do some wildly racist shit
-receive backlash
-give tearful apology on news station about how your words were taken out of context, you're not racist, your daughter's best friend's neighbor's cousin's barber's niece's boyfriend is black so you can't possibly be racist

^All true but I still want to hear him answer my little question.

For the sake of fairness and balance, I want to hear both sides of the debate. Either we will understand his explanation or he will embarass himself further. Win-win.

A novel suggestion.

Interesting that you clipped the final part of that quote, kinda takes on a different tone, less of accountability, more of "maybe he had a good reason to be an obnoxious piece of shit to a disabled woman."

The argument, for whatever reason, started outside the plane and escalated when the man found out he was sitting beside her and demanded that she move.

I agree with you to the extent that everyone should be held accountable for their own actions, but only after a fair trial. This thread is a version of trial by media, and that's never a good thing.

don't need a trial to state the obvious. example: man beats his wife. sure he technically deserves a trial, but just between us girls, unless it was self defense, what are we going to possibly discover during the trial that'll make giving his domestic partner a black eye acceptable? she burnt the toast? flirted with the waiter?
